We all know that the job market is pathetic (unless you have the privilege) to live in a huge city such as: New York, Dallas, Fort Worth, Michigan, San Deigo, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Milwaukee, Miami, Spokane, Las Vegas etc…

Why are not employers seeking people to work for them part-time if the job market is so bad?

I look online for jobs (office jobs folks) and all I see are full-time positions. Do these employers actually believe that everyone looking for a job is either 1. has the privilege to have a car of their own or 2. WANTS to work full-time.

Where is the part-time job market for office jobs? Where are those companies that hire new graduates on a internship basis for 15-20 hours per week?

(Oh, let me guess. Those positions are not in Perris California. At least, not yet, am I right?)
I’m already a senior at Univeristy of Redlands School of Business-thank you though. See, I AM getting my “education” as many of you have stated.

Ricky Rubio, Yi Jianlian, and other international players tend to think they get to choose the teams they would play for and it ruins the NBA.

This is why small-market teams are always at the bottom of the standings. Because some players especially the high draft picks, when drafted by small-market teams like Memphis, T-wolves and Milwaukee always wants to be traded to big market teams like LA and New York.

They should be grateful they even make it to the NBA. Teams are the ones who are supposed the pick the players, not the other way around!

Some guys have to man up and play for the team that drafted them.

The NBA is turning into a marketing campaign rather than a basketball league and it’s getting annoying.

For those who don’t want to play for a specific team should not avail themselves in the draft. That should be an NBA rule.

What do you guys think??

I answered a question about small market teams with a reference to the largest media markets in the country. This challenges the notion that Oakland, part of the fifth biggest media market in the country, and Minnesota, the 15th biggest, are small market teams.

The smallest media markets with MLB teams are Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, San Diego, Baltimore and St. Louis. Thus, I attempted to make the argument the Cardinals are in fact a small market team that just happens to have tradition and a strong fan base going for them.

How exactly does MLB define a small market team and how should it and we as fans? To me, not having a strong regional television network does not by definition make you a small market team – they are two different things.

I must be misinformed, so can someone please rationally explain why the A’s and Twins should be considered small market teams in baseball?

Thanks
